It should work with FreeBSD, certainly for text. For graphics

I've requested a test printout, but they claim their 600 x 600 x 16
technology gives similar results than 1200 dpi inkjets.
It doesn't surprise me that Gutenprint doesn't have a setting
specifically for the 6500 because Xerox provides one:
Uf, I have this idea to only use LPD and filters.
I have a Phaser 6300 (older model), and it has worked well for every
OS that I have thrown at it, including Mac, Windows, Linux, FreeBSD,
iOS, etc.
Echoing others, get a real postscript printer, get a real network printer
(not USB), and get a laser printer (although Thermal Wax would also be
acceptable).
Just got an incredible deal, Xerox Phaser 6280V DN with toners for 2000+
pages for 362 EUR. That's exactly the price I've paid for ink in the
last five years. I think I'll go with this one.
Regards and thanks to everyone who chimed in with a piece of good advice.
